Psalms 124

1 A song of ascents. Of David. If the LORD had not been on our side— let Israel now declare—

Se yon chante David pou yo chante lè y'ap moute lavil Jerizalèm. Si Seyè a pa t' kanpe pou nou, ki jan sa ta ye! Se pou pèp Izrayèl la rekonèt sa.

2 if the LORD had not been on our side when men attacked us,

Wi, si Seyè a pa t' kanpe pou nou, lè moun yo te leve dèyè nou an,

3 when their anger flared against us, then they would have swallowed us alive,

yo ta vale nou tou vivan, lè yo te move sou nou an.

4 then the floods would have engulfed us, then the torrent would have overwhelmed us,

Dlo ta kouvri nou, lavalas ta pase sou nou.

5 then the raging waters would have swept us away.

Wi, lavalas ta pote nou ale.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth.

Ann fè lwanj Seyè a ki pa kite lènmi nou yo devore nou.

7 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; the net is torn, and we have slipped away.

Nou chape tankou yon ti zwezo ki chape soti nan pèlen chasè. Fil pèlen an kase. Nou chape, n' ale.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Se Seyè a k'ap pote nou sekou, se li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a.
